COVID forces turkey pick-up outwide

 

The local turkey farm sells thousands of turkeys before Christmas. A day or two later these large birds take centre stage for the annual Christmas dinners at many London homes. This year the picking up of the pre-ordered turkeys was done outside. Why? COVID.

But after so many months of living with the virus, the work-arounds are getting to be almost second nature. The pick up line was long but the wait was possibly shorter than in pre-COVID times. On arrival, one told a person their name, then joined the line waiting to pick up a bird. The line was at least a dozen folk deep, but three people on cash kept the line moving smartly. When one reached the front of the line, the turkey was wait there for pick up.
